- Asylum Racket Update: boat arrival takes tally to 2500
RESIDENTS are fighting a mosque and cultural centre they believe will become a headquarters for the strict Wahhabi sect of Islam in Sydney.
Harrow Rd resident Barry Walsh, who is campaigning to save the fire station, said the development was so large it almost certainly was planned as a “corporate head office”.
“There is a chamber for 1000 worshippers at a time, a dome and minarets with the sign of the crescent moon,” he said.
“It’s an opportunity for the Australian Islamic Cultural Centre to house its operations. The $9 million for it will come from overseas.”
Mr Walsh said residents aimed to collect 8000 to 9000 signatures on a petition demanding Auburn Council preserve the fire station or its facade.
Islamic Cultural Centre spokesman Shafiq Khan* runs nearby Al-Faisal College at Auburn and is known to have connections in the Saudi Government, which has spent an estimated $120 million bankrolling mosques, schools, clerical salaries and Islamic scholarships in Australia.
He was not available to comment.

* The Pakistan-born Mr Khan came to Australia in 1978 and has since been a powerful agent of influence for Saudi Arabia. He has been promoted and often paid outright by Saudi officials and has extended Saudi Arabia’s enormous influence over Australia’s Muslims by dispensing money and favours. With the help of Saudi donations and decrees, he has built many mosques, run Muslim youth camps, provided scholarships to train Australian teachers in Saudi Arabia and even paid for his supporters to go to Mecca.
Councillors have voted 7-3 to approve the mosque with conditions, but will consider a rescission motion at a meeting in January.
Labor councillor Patrick Curtin said concerns surrounded a lack of information about the proposal relating to noise, drainage, overshadowing, hours of operation, height, traffic and parking.
Mr Curtin refused to comment on the applicant but said he had not been impressed by its presentation.
“The recommendation (to approve the development) is based on insufficient information,” he said.
The development application was accompanied by a petition with 1800 names supporting the complex.

Fight this!!!
stick to your gun AUSTRALIA goverment and people follow swiss country and stop to be fool with those dangerous loonetick peoples you invited to stay in your country.
We are facilitating our own destruction by allowing an aggressive faith to gain a foothold in the heartland of Christendom – namely the West. We are in effect bringing in a trojan horse that will destoy us. Europe is set to fall to Islam within 30 years – maybe sooner considering the massive breeding program these people are clearly engaged in. It’s going on right here in Australia – with the help of the infidel governments BABY BONUS!
For such a small percentage of the Australian population [1.7%], they seem to be building mosques at a rapid rate.
The site below is very interesting for what it tells us and not tell us. You know, all the gory bits. Keeping everything nice and peaceful, until they dominate. at what percentage? 5%?
